With $83 for MS64 Morgans even the strong hands will be selling everything they have I would think.

The common date MS65 Morgans at $163 they are not keeping pace with the MS63 MS64 price increases. This makes me think the MS63/64 price increases are due to the high greysheet prices for VG common date morgans at $31+.

Hey homey.....Watch out for those PCGS Rattlers and "NO LINE" NGC Fatties.

Wow. I didn't realize they had gone up so high so fast. I've got a small cache (ten of each I think) of common date MS63 Morgans/Peace I socked away awhile ago. I'll have to dust them off and take a look at what I've got!

As long as silver stays up here in the high $30's so should those MS63 and MS64 Morgans. If silver goes to $50 what will those be at?

No doubt a lot of speculation going on here. One source told me that a lot of these are being purchased overseas because the dollar is so weak against other currencies. They see our 125 yr old choice BU coins of the realm priced at $90 in MS64 and they think they are cheapcompared to what something comparable in their coinage might be. How many countries had the luxury of pounding out hundreds of millions of silver dollars fromcheap silver in the late 1800's to early 1900's? While our supply of choice BU Morgans is large, it's not inexhaustable compared to all the silver billion in the world and still in the ground. A lot of dusty BU bags are being sent in for grading now because for the first time in 20 yrs it's very profitable to slab 63's and 64's.

<< $40 bucks was my limit on these MS64's... And the last one I bought was in a pcgs ogh. >>

I bought most of my widget Morgans years ago. I remember flinching when MS64s went to $46 GS ask. I bought a few at that price and it dropped back before this most recent climb. The most expensive common one I bought was $75 for a rimmed toned 1897 in a small white ANACS 64 holder when GS was about $50 and retail about $63. I wonder if I can get out even from that burial now?

My theory is that some of the big telemarketer firms are pumping these coins. If my theory is correct, some of their "select" clients might be paying 2x to 3x sheet for their prizes.

Well I should have purchased a boat load of theses. I've been out of the loop on Silver Dollars they've really done well considering collectors never thought they'd ever be worth very much. The $34 for common culled Peace Dollars thread woke me up, I wouldn't pay melt for those unless they keys or semi-keys

I have been slowly buying WHITE PCGS/NGC MS63/64 common date Morgan and Walking liberty halfs since they were bid around $34 in MS64. Lately I stepped up my pace trading modern commemoratives and cash for MS63/64 Morgans and Peace dollars. Looked like a bad deal for me but it has paid off so far anyway.

Here is the other type of coins I have been hoarding since bid was $10 stopped buying at $16:
